Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A method, comprising: reading, at a first proxy, a first multi-path transmission control protocol (MP-TCP) information from at least one first MP-TCP header, the at least one first MP-TCP header included in a first MP-TCP subflow, the first MP-TCP subflow included in a first MP-TCP session; encapsulating, by the first proxy, the first MP-TCP information in a second MP-TCP session, wherein the second MP-TCP session is different from the first MP-TCP session, wherein the second MP-TCP session comprises a set of proxy subflows to a second proxy, wherein the first MP-TCP information is distributed identically to each of the set of proxy subflows; and sending the encapsulated first MP-TCP information through the second MP-TCP session to the second proxy prior to sending to a server, wherein a return path comprises a path from the server to the second proxy to the first proxy to a client that originated the first MP-TCP information, and wherein the return path is used to send additional MP-TCP information.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: connecting the second MP-TCP session to a remote proxy through a plurality of links.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: decapsulating a second MP-TCP information from the second MP-TCP session; reading the second MP-TCP information from the second MP-TCP session; and including the second MP-TCP information in at least one second MP-TCP header, wherein the at least one second MP-TCP header being included in a packet, and wherein the packet being sent as part of the first MP-TCP subflow.
4. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: encapsulating the first MP-TCP information in at least one of an Internet protocol (IP) option header, a transmission control protocol (TCP) option header, or a payload of a packet.
5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: terminating the first MP-TCP subflow at a proxy; originating, at the proxy, at least one MP-TCP proxy subflow of the second MP-TCP session; and copying, by the proxy, data between at least the first MP-TCP subflow and the at least one MP-TCP proxy subflow of the second MP-TCP session.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the encapsulating further comprises: defining a new option type for the at least one first MP-TCP header; and re-writing, by the first proxy, the at least one first MP-TCP header as the new option type.
7. A system, comprising: a memory; and a processor executing instructions from the memory to: read, at a first proxy, a first multi-path transmission control protocol (MP-TCP) information from at least one first MP-TCP header, the at least one first MP-TCP header included in a first MP-TCP subflow, the first MP-TCP subflow included in a first MP-TCP session; encapsulate, by the first proxy, the first MP-TCP information in a second MP-TCP session, wherein the second MP-TCP session is different from the first MP-TCP session, wherein the second MP-TCP session comprises a set of proxy subflows to a second proxy, wherein the first MP-TCP information is distributed identically to each of the set of proxy subflows; and send the encapsulated first MP-TCP information through the second MP-TCP session to the second proxy prior to sending to a server, wherein a return path comprises a path from the server to the second proxy to the first proxy to a client that originated the first MP-TCP information.
8. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions from the memory to: connect the second MP-TCP session to a remote proxy through a plurality of links.
9. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions from the memory to: decapsulate a second MP-TCP information from the second MP-TCP session; read the second MP-TCP information from the second MP-TCP session; and include the second MP-TCP information in at least one second MP-TCP header, wherein the at least one second MP-TCP header being included in a packet, and wherein the packet being sent as part of the first MP-TCP subflow.
10. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions from the memory to: encapsulate the first MP-TCP information in at least one of an Internet protocol (IP) option header, a transmission control protocol (TCP) option header, or a payload of a packet.
11. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions from the memory to: terminate the first MP-TCP subflow at a proxy; originate, at the proxy, at least one MP-TCP proxy subflow of the second MP-TCP session; and copy, by the proxy, data between at least the first MP-TCP subflow and the at least one MP-TCP proxy subflow of the second MP-TCP session.
12. The system of claim 7 , wherein the processor further executes the instructions from the memory to: define a new option type for the at least one first MP-TCP header; and re-write by the first proxy the at least one first MP-TCP header as the new option type.
13. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by at least one hardware processor of a network device, the non-transitory machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to: read, at a first proxy, a first multi-path transmission control protocol (MP-TCP) information from at least one first MP-TCP header, the at least one first MP-TCP header included in a first MP-TCP subflow, the first MP-TCP subflow included in a first MP-TCP session; encapsulate, by the first proxy, the first MP-TCP information in a second MP-TCP session, wherein the second MP-TCP session is different from the first MP-TCP session, wherein the second MP-TCP session comprises a set of proxy subflows to a second proxy, wherein the first MP-TCP information is distributed identically to each of the set of proxy subflows; and send the encapsulated first MP-TCP information through the second MP-TCP session to the second proxy prior to sending to a server, wherein the server binds the set of proxy subflows with an alternate subflow from a client that originated the first MP-TCP information, wherein the alternate subflow was transmitted without the first proxy or the second proxy.
14. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising instructions to: connect the second MP-TCP session to a remote proxy through a plurality of links.
15. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising instructions to: decapsulate a second MP-TCP information from the second MP-TCP session; read the second MP-TCP information from the second MP-TCP session; and include the second MP-TCP information in at least one second MP-TCP header, wherein the at least one second MP-TCP header being included in a packet, and wherein the packet being sent as part of the first MP-TCP subflow.
16. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising instructions to: encapsulate the first MP-TCP information in at least one of an Internet protocol (IP) option header, a transmission control protocol (TCP) option header, or a payload of a packet.
17. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , further comprising instructions to: define a new option type for the at least one first MP-TCP header; and re-write by the first proxy the at least one first MP-TCP header as the new option type.
18. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least one first MP-TCP header is repeated in multiple IP fragments.
19. The system of claim 7 , wherein the at least one first MP-TCP header is repeated in multiple IP fragments.
20. The non-transitory machine-readable storage medium of claim 13 , wherein the at least one first MP-TCP header is repeated in multiple IP fragments.
